Deer Fallen Through The Ice Gets Rescued

On January 28, 2023, first responders entered the frigid waters of the Fox River to rescue a deer that had fallen through the ice.
The deer remained curled up under several blankets and heating pads on the shore more than 2 hours later. The deer was no longer in that area the next morning.
Weather Conditions: Heavy snowfall at times with a snow storm in the forecast, and at about 23F.
Location: Just south of the Broken Oar Marina-Bar & Grill on the Fox River in Port Barrington, IL.

Kudos to the rescue team for a job well done. . These guys are true heroes...👍

[@GetMeThere1]

I was glad to read above that they left the deer covered by "several blankets and heating pads," and that it was gone by the next morning. I'm afraid that many of the "ice rescues" of animals we see on youtube ultimately result in a dead animal, due to exposure. These guys -- being the experts they are -- understood that just getting it out of the water wasn't enough. Nice job guys!!

[@jamiekruger5517]

Thank you for rescuing that deer. That could be a member of my family in the future if you hadn’t practiced on this gentle soul. God bless you all! Keep up the most amazing work that you do!

[@dizzylizzy6571]

THANK YOU ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL GUYS! 👍👍WHAT A GREAT RESCUE! 👏👏 I love my deer here in Southeast Michigan. I hope and pray that cute deer didn't get frostbite from the icy water! Poor thing. She was completely exhausted. 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

Mans humanity. Preserve and help all creatures that can't help themselves. I so hope the deer survived. Some of these guys may be deer hunters. But at that time it doesn't matter.

[@c.albrecht226]

The animal should have been warmed up immediately and taken to the vet as it had frostbite and shock. Otherwise good job! But it was not dangerous for the rescuers in insulated protective clothing in the shallow ice water. But for the poor animal, every minute counted, completely in icewater.

If they had something to use as a sled, they could have pulled the deer to safety and slowly warmed it instead of trying to make it stand. Would like to know if it survived.

They should've laid a thick blanket down for the deer to rest on, even cover it, until gain it's strength. Deer is all frozen up. I bet it was warmer in water than outside in the snow and freezing cold air, which possibly way below freezing?

[@abinadvd]

Il est surtout paralysé par le froid. L'homme , c'est pas un copain, c'est le mec qui a le calibre 12 pour lui. Il prend un peu confiance quand il voit que ce jour là "Ca mord pas. Ils ne veulent pas me tuer.". Perso , je l'aurais mis ds un véhicule "break" chauffage à fond ou un local chauffé et tenter de le secher au maximum comme on peut. Surtout , virer l'eau de ses poils. Un mec tombé dans l'eau froide , tu le sors , le mets nu et lui mets des fringues sèches. C'est pour que son corps n'ai pas à fournir l'énergie pour évaporer cette eau.

[@YvanFerland]

Ne le laissez pas tout mouillé il a froid il s faire n et il est eppuisé svp réchauffé le nourrissé le pour qu’il puisse récupérer ❤❤❤

[@gamingradeon]

Theoretically, its possible the deer didn’t get frostbitten underwater as the temperature of the water was higher than 0 degrees celcius. Since the deer’s blood and the tissue couldn’t freeze underwater, it is possible that he didn’t get frostbiten
